Tanisha Neely HT(ASCP) asks: >>Are the guidelines for a tech who is strictly limited to grossing anatomic pathology specimens different than for those of a full time histotech? Could a bachelor degree'd person with the right course work qualify for this position? If so, does anyone have documentation of this? I'd like to present this as a staffing option to my management if possible.<<
Well, I'm giving a talk on the subject to the Tennessee Society for Histotechnology meeting in Chattanooga, and I'm pretty confused about the question of who's allowed to gross - the rules seem to be changing, and different certifying organizations have different requirements. If somebody can spell out in detail who it is that's requiring what, I'd appreciate it.
